Garage door installation in Los Angeles usually costs between $825 and $2,595 for a complete new door, and the job rarely takes more than a day once the door is on site. What makes LA installations different from anywhere else is the housing stock: narrow 1920s single-car openings, hillside headers that were never framed for modern steel doors, and alley-facing garages where the door is the most-used entrance to the home. Onyx Garage Door Service has served Los Angeles since 2014, and we work on every major brand including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, and Clopay. Call (877) 588-8251 for a free installation estimate.
Why Los Angeles Homes Are Different
Most of Los Angeles was built before standardized garage dimensions existed. The 1920s through 1950s bungalows in Mid-City, Highland Park, and the flats of Hollywood have single-car garages with openings that measure anywhere from 7 to 8 feet wide, often with low headroom. Original wood doors from that era are still in service all over the city, and they rarely match modern steel door sizes. That means replacement work in LA frequently involves custom trim, modified track placement, or a narrower door spec than what sits on a shelf at a big-box store.
The climate works against wood doors here. Year-round UV fades and checks paint, especially in the Valley and the high-desert-adjacent areas like Sylmar and Chatsworth. The coastal marine layer brings rust to hardware in the basin and Westside, from Santa Monica to Long Beach. Santa Ana wind events drive dust and grit into rollers and tracks. Hillside neighborhoods, including Mount Washington, Echo Park, and large parts of Silver Lake, bring their own complication: retaining walls and headers that were built for lightweight wood doors, not insulated steel. Every installation has to be assessed for what the structure will actually support. On top of that, many older LA garages open directly onto an alley, which makes the garage door the primary entrance for daily comings and goings. We treat every job with that reality in mind.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Los Angeles Services
Most Los Angeles homeowners call us for one of two reasons: a door that stopped working entirely, or an opener that runs but will not lift the door. Both are covered below, and each has its own dedicated page with full pricing detail.
Garage Door Repair in Los Angeles
Broken springs, snapped cables, and off-track doors are the most common repairs we see across Los Angeles, and the alley-facing garage makes a failure feel urgent: if the door will not open, the car is trapped and the household’s main entrance is blocked. Springs on original 1920s-era wood doors are often odd sizes that big-box stores do not stock, so we carry a wider inventory of springs and hardware to match older openings. In hillside neighborhoods, a door that has pulled away from its header or slipped off its track is usually a sign of framing movement, and we address that rather than just resetting the door. See Garage Door Repair in Los Angeles for service details and local pricing.
Garage Door Opener Repair in Los Angeles
Opener failures in Los Angeles typically come from stripped gears, failed logic boards, or remotes that have lost their signal, and we service LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, and Craftsman units daily. In coastal neighborhoods, corrosion on the opener rail and terminals is a common culprit, while Valley heat shortens the life of capacitors and circuit boards. We diagnose the opener as part of the door system, so if a stiff door has been overworking the motor, we address both issues in one visit. Visit Garage Door Opener Repair in Los Angeles for a full breakdown and brand-specific guidance.

Garage Door Installation in Los Angeles
Garage door installation in Los Angeles is rarely a simple swap. Homes in neighborhoods like Echo Park, Silver Lake, and Koreatown were built in the 1920s through 1950s, and many still have their original single-car wood doors hanging in openings that do not match any modern standard size. Add decades of UV damage, alley-facing layouts, and hillside retaining walls, and a proper installation means measuring the actual opening, checking the header and track framing, and often ordering a door spec that is not stocked locally. We handle the full job from removal through final trim, including the opener and all hardware, so the project is finished in one visit rather than coordinated across multiple vendors. If you are planning a full replacement or a new-construction install, see Garage Door Installation for more on our process.
Garage Door Replacement
Signs you need it
A door with cracked or rotted wood panels, a frame that has shifted over decades of hillside settling, or springs and hardware that have been repaired repeatedly is usually past the point of economical repair.
What it costs in Los Angeles
A full garage door replacement in Los Angeles runs $825 to $2,595, with upper-range pricing for custom widths on pre-1950s openings and insulated steel doors.
How we do it
We remove the old door and hardware, inspect and reinforce the header and track mounts where necessary, install the new door, and tune the springs and opener so the finished system operates cleanly.
